Today, progressive funk collective The Motet announces they’ll ring in 2016 with a very special New Year’s Eve show in Atlanta at The Variety Playhouse on December 31.  Tickets, including a limited number of VIP tickets, go on sale to The Motet Fan Club on Friday, August 14 at 2pm EDT, and to the general public on Friday, August 21 at 2pm EDT, at www.themotet.net.

This New Year’s Eve celebration marks The Motet’s first time back in Atlanta since their sold out show at Terminal West just over a year ago, and on the heels of an appearance at Magnolia Fest in Live Oak, Florida this October. The Motet’s New Years shows have become a spectacle.  Last year, the band sold out the historic Crystal Ballroom in Portland, Oregon.  Watch a video from last year’s New Year’s show HERE.

The band returns to the Pacific Northwest in mid-December with dates in Eugene, OR, Portland, OR and Seattle, WA. These shows round out the band’s recently announced fall itinerary, which includes a very special run of “Mixtape 1977” shows in the Midwest over Halloween weekend, and doubleheaders at the Brooklyn Bowl in Brooklyn, New York, and the Ogden Theatre, in Denver, Colorado where they’ll unveil their inaugural “Hometown Hustle.” Visit www.themotet.net for full details.

About The Motet: Started ten years ago by seasoned drummer Dave Watts as a rotating cast of musical friends, today progressive funk band The Motet has refined their sound and vision into a dynamic and expressive force. The Motet features an astonishingly talented cast of musicians who enjoy a palpable rapport when put together – Dave Watts (drums, musical director), Garrett Sayers (bass), Joey Porter (keyboards), Ryan Jalbert (guitar), Jans Ingber (vocals) and horn players Gabe Mervine (trumpet) and Matt Pitts (sax).

Today, The Motet is touring nationwide. Recent months have found the band’s audiences growing exponentially - with sellout shows from coast to coast including Red Rock’s Amphitheatre, Brooklyn Bowl, and many more, and huge festival plays such as Electric Forest, Summer Camp, All Good Music Festival, High Sierra Music Festival, Camp Bisco, Jazz Aspen Snowmass, and Arise Music Festival, among others.
